Baltimore...When the Walls Come Tumbling Down

The riots that swept Baltimore have no justification, as no one is sanctioned to destroy property and imperil another’s life.  No perceived wrong by police on a citizen condones a mob action that hurts others not involved.

A city ramped with crime and corruption is the direct result of 40 years of liberal policy rule.  This chaos is not what liberalism believes in but what it gets.  Because while liberal ideals may seem noble, liberals are blind to the inevitability of political corruption.  This is the nature of man since his recorded beginning of time.  This is the inescapable truth, of why what may appear as good ideas almost always fail when in the clutches of government.

A marauding band of people is a fearful sight.  But we also saw one man with a microphone speak down a mob. The point being, even a single individual can make his voice heard and rise up against the crowd.

Today, the majority of Americans not only allow their voices to be suppressed, but they don’t even bother speaking up.  Many file into herds of political leanings to tow a party line.  Why go against the flow when thoughts on issues are provided conveniently through all sorts of media and institutions in perfectly formed slogans?  Is this complacency or fear . . . fear of repercussions from failure to be politically correct?  Have far too many of us given into submission of our freely formed opinions?

There is a disenchantment with government that plagues our country but which can be cured with vigilance.  By simply reading of our nation’s history then examining current events, one can cultivate his thoughts and opinions from a new perspective.  America must once again rise up and find its voice of liberty.  She must shout it through the microphone over the crowd of political correctness before our ability to fight back through word escapes us and our freedom of speech is turned to freedom from speech.


At the onset of the American Revolution, those who remained loyal to Great Britain outnumbered the patriots who sought independence.  Let’s remind ourselves that the patriots won the nation’s fight for liberty.
